Scar revision surgery

Large, raised, or highly visible facial scars as a result of an injury or surgery may have the best chance of a satisfactory revision by surgery. There are many ways a scar can form, much depends upon how the wound was treated during healing.

Removing a scar with surgery allows for the reclosing of the incision with specific cosmetic techniques designed to produce a thinner, less visible scar with less contrast and positioned along folds or creases.

Dermabrasion scar revision

Dermabrasion is a procedure that tones down shallow scars by delicately scraping the top layers of the scar. It often results in a revitalized looking area where the scar seems to disappear into the general tone of the skin. Dermabrasion is generally only used for people with fair skin as there is little risk of discoloration. Microdermabrasion can work for darker skin tones.

Plasma rich platelets (PRP) for scar revision

PRP is one of the most promising regenerative treatments for scar revision procedures. Blood cannot penetrate scar tissue, but PRP extracted from a blood sample injected directly into the scar, can stimulate healing and reduce the appearance of the scar. PRP therapy can be added to the surgical scar revision to speed healing and achieve smoother results.
